Brought over to the UK in 1825, this alpine has beautiful, bright sky-blue flowers for most of the summer. | This is a fantastic sport from 'Obsidian' - with dark foliage flecked irregularly with rose-pink tints. The flecks brighten as the season progresses until they become almost cream in colour. |
Bright yellow lower sections with upper chocolate-brown. | Iberis 'Absolutely Amethyst' (P) A jewel in the crown of any Iberis collection. Wonderful pink puffs of flower on neat mounds of green foliage. |
Heuchera 'Chocolate Ruffles' (P) Ruffled leaves, chocolate in colour on top, burgundy underneath and a profusion of purple flowers. |
